Hi Patrish, alot of changes in the last year and a half.Jordan is actually in his third year of college, I got laid of due to my department relocating, and Patti and I are in the midst of a divorce.Although divorce is never good, it's amicable, and Jordan is doing well.This will be the first year since 1993 that I'll be there without Patti.This year it'll be Jordan, his girlfriend of 3 years Nicole, and myself. We will actually be celebrating Jordan's 21st birthday there.As we have the last 5 yrs, we will be staying at the Sea Watch Resort.I actually see that Cathy will be there for the first day that we are there.Maybe we'll see each other.Solo happy to be back.

A few years ago I did a Google search of MB trip reports and it pulled up an old report that you had put on another site. I can't remember what site it was and have tried to pull it back up but can't. I'm am sure that site is long gone now. Anyway I had recognized you from the pics and posts that you had made on this board. If I remember correctly that old site had some pics of your boy sitting in that big beach chair that used to be at BATB. He wasn't very old in that pic and it kind of hit home knowing that he was almost grown when I looked at that two years ago. Glad to see that you have kept the tradition going. I have enjoyed reading your reports through the years. I've went from taking a 1 year old daughter to the beach to taking that same daughter as an 18 year old in 2017.

So sorry to hear about you and Patty :( Glad Jordan is doing well though!

The beach is our constant is it not...She always welcomes us back whatever the circumstances, unconditionally, and with open arms! Relax and have a wonderful time!! Keep in touch though please! You were gone for way way too long!!

Welcome back!! You and I had the common habit of hunting for shark teeth and finding none if I remeber correctly. Well......this winter I have found loads of shark teeth. As Emmy had advised in the past once you find one you see them everywhere and it is so true. The thing is most of them are soooo tiny. I was looking for something bigger. Once I found one I was off to the races so I am wishing you luck this year. Sorry to hear about your personal situation and glad to hear your son is accepting things. Wow! He grew up fast! I hope you enjoy your summer beach holiday and look forward to hearing from you more often.
